2022 coup investigation
On 23 August 2022, the Federal Police of Brazil carried out search and seizure warrants at the homes, offices, and other properties of several businessmen, including Hang, José Koury, and José Isaac Peres. The operation was ordered by the Supreme Federal Court as part of an investigation into alleged support for a potential coup in favor of Jair Bolsonaro.[5] The court also ordered the freezing of their bank and social media accounts, required them to give testimony, and authorized access to their financial records. Hang stated that the measures amounted to political persecution and an attack on their freedom of speech.[6]

Hang is married to Andrea Benvenutti.[7] They have three children and live in Brusque, Santa Catarina, Brazil.[8]
